Borrowing a multimeter can save you purchasing a new PSU after worrying about it etc when in reality it may only be the software & associated bits that's wrong.

Then if the meter says it's that low, start unplugging things & turning on to see what the voltage is then, it could be poor regulation that's causing it & need replacing, but needs checking with a meter first.

Did I mention checking it with a meter?
I dunno dude - I think he would be better off checking it with a multimeter
